3.项目方向：
Most DNA in the genome of eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus) is transmitted from its ancestors, in a process of vertical inheritance. However, we are beginning to discover that viruses can contribute significant amounts of DNA to their hosts, in a process called “endogenization”. The fate of this laterally acquired DNA is uncertain, most of viral DNA will be purged out as it will be either detrimental or neutral for the host. However, some parts of this viral DNA might result advantageous for the host. In the laboratory we are interested in how gene regulation might play a role in this process of viral DNA domestication by eukaryotic cells.
This project will tackle how giant viruses, a unique kind of virus with gigantic genomes that tends to endogenize, use epigenetic tools to manipulate their hosts, to test if that prompts endogenization events. We will achieve this by using a combination of comparative genomics, molecular biology and epigenomics, focusing on unicellular eukaryotic systems. The project will train the students in cutting edge bioinformatics, evolution and epigenetics research.
4.大致要求:
We are looking for candidates to have or expecting to receive a first or upper-second class honours degree and a Master’s degree in an area relevant to the project such as Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology, Synthetic Biology, Virology.
Knowledge of cell culture, cloning, and / or comparative genomics would be highly advantageous but are not required.
You must meet the IELTS requirements for your course and upload evidence before CSC’s application deadline, ideally by 1st March 2025. You are therefore strongly advised to sit an approved English Language test as soon as possible, where your IELTS test must still be valid when you enrol for the programme.
